The reason wliy a portion of our subscribers at Leeaville, Freedom, Fair Hay, and Ehick Creek, did not get t'ieir last papers, was probably owing to high Waters; as several packages were returned tu thiä office, completely saturated with water, and nearly destroyed. We have replaced and forwarded all we t.ave on hand of that ntimlier. Wo Slid "hih water s" If il has been as dry on the route these papers travelled as it has been here, we cannot account fijf "high waters;" and we are rather inclined U think they were destroyed by the carelessness of the tna.il carrier. We will make inquiry into the matter, at all event. I x pro v em en Ts in the street, side-walks and build ings of this city are progressing more rupidly ami to better advantage than any forriier season has witnessed. This in some decree is in anticipation of the arrival of the railroad locomotives; but ti new spirit seems to have animated our citizens and stimulated them to improvement without direct reference to the anticipated effects of the completion of the road. All bands feel the better for it, let the cause be what it way; and we shall all be rewarded too, for the good Ihus done. When all our s'reets shall have been gravelled, our side-walks j-rael!ed or paved, and our streets l;ned with shade trees, we shall have the hand somest town in the State to say the least. This will be profitable in every way as well as pleasant to us," we shall be better citizens and better christians. We wish, by the way, as we always have done, that our diagonal streets or ot least portions cf them could be mealed and the lota which they intersect and poil, made square. That would be a great, very great improvement, the importance and value, as well as the growing impracticability of which, the longer it is delayed, is manifest to us. It would cost comparatively little now, and their vacation is comparn lively unimportant: In f.vc or ten years, the propriety of it will be plain to all; but then it may be impracticable. During the late canvass we published a short communication from a friend at h!oon:field, in the Cth d.stnct, stating, atneng other thirds, that Dnnn, the ! whig candidate for Congress, had denounced the Iju ! fr7r Journal, &ic. The editors of that paper subsequellt!? Stated that they had written to Dunn Oil the 1 subject, and that he had pronounced the statement of our correspondent a lie.

'"'X P";''lctions or political principles: but for the ,r , , t ,,. . e leaduvg Whig paper in Indiana the ötxte Orgas to

Oilier papers take the InteHigencer to be in favor of voting supplier; and with this understanding the N. Y. Evening Post makes the following comments: The Wiikis and ti.e War. Notwithstanding all that Uie Whig prints have said in condemnation of the war, and the strong resistance they have made to all the clTirts to raise men and money to carry it on, iliry tire tmw about to lake the ground of supporting it. This Midden change in their conduct appears to have been occasioned by the prospect that there will bo a Whig majority in the next House of Congress. The log o by which this conduct is justified is of that peculiar kind called Pick", ickion." For instance : the war is u!ytat and atrocious and should be resisted w.?i all our ciForts, said the Whig members of the Iat Cii)jjrt's, and the party pret-'a during the patyenr. Uut now the Whigs have a majority in the Ilouse, and although the injustice and atrocity of the war continue unchangeable, yet we must change our conduct and support the Administration in condiiciiii i lie war ; and the excuse for this change of conduct is that if a Whig Congress refuse to vote supplies it will make thx; war popular with the people," and consequently tlic Whigs would be inevitably defeated at the poIN, and lose power and place. ud is a specimen of the reasons put forth bv the Whig prints nt Albany and Washington, for a change in the;r conduct. It will be noticed that their pat opposition t' the war is ostensibly f.unded on its moral wrongfulness, and consequently it was to be resisted nt every step. Novv however, without any. een pretended change in the character of the war, hut in consequence of a slight change in their relations in Congress, they propose a charge in their conduct. Wai there ever a more shameful spectacle than is presented by those men who propoee to measure moral right and wrong by their party successes. Such actions as these expose mo(t clearly to the nntion who are the mere "pandererV to place and power, and who are rtady to trample underfoot the highest princij.les of man's naturt for a little brief authority." We make 'he following extract from the Albany Journal, noticirgan article in the National Intelligencer: The e woid a.e weighed with Hie uual forethought and judäme it of ihe rdi'ors of the Intelligencer. Tlieii import . clear. The gicund taken i, we believe, bioad enough for whis to stand on. Though detesting the war and ihote who btought the country into it, we should deeply deplore any movement ftorn the Whig side of Oigies, designed to biing to a compi:lvie close by a tefunal to vote men and money. Let us give the Administration the means they ask for to cany on the war, but hold tben repunible fut all the ronequence. The. is hut one possible way of blinging up this Adininistiaiion of making eveu this war popular with the people. That way is for a Whig Congress to lefme to vole supplies. Such an act would set Pulk on his legs. 1'he people will, as ihey have, so far as their verdicts have been ucehed, put their diead seal of condemnation upon the Administration. Batcutdially as they hate the war and its abettors, they will not, now that we are in the fiiht, allow the if public to be dishnored ri:her by an inglorious withdiawal of the army, or a ti mumble refusal to vote tht necessary supplies. Certain Whig papers take different ground ftom that of the National Intelligencer. The "Torch Light," a strong Corwin Whig paper, published at Xenia, Ohio, expresses itself as follows. Its position consistent, to sav the least: No More ArrRoeaiATie:. We rrj.ice to see a lar:e snH letnrrtahl mi m tier of the Whi.' riaoeic in this and other Kia-es taking ri,ed ground against fuither app.OptUtions b Co'iitt-. u( men nU money for the Mexican throat-cut-iii.j, uii'iue. i in is as 11 iiinum or. j ne loner orancn of the next Congtcss will be most decidedly Whig, and if the membeis aie simple enough to doubl the course which the people desiie them to pursue upon this subject, the; will answer for it deaih.

The difficulty in the way is, thnt every body is run ning wild about railnads, while they do not take the least thought about our improving our common roads. which keep us by their miserable condition half the year mud bound. If we ever have good common roads we must obtain thctn through a system of turnpike companies, such as built all the main roads iu New England. The stockholders of tbe Ra Ul more and Ohio Rail road Company have put en end to the long agitated question as lo tho point at which the road should strike the Ohio river. The law assed by the last session of the Legislature of Virginia, granting the right of way to the city of Wheeling, has been ac cepted. They will commence the work at the earliest practical moment.

Family Jars. The Tippecanoe Journal of the 2Gth is down again upon its brother whig. State Journal, like a "thousand of bricks." It plumps several fancy, licks into the State Journal' brend-basket in this style, viz: Pledges Ges. Tatlor. Tha State Journal in out against requiring "pledge" from candidates for office meaning of course, that it isn't clever to insist upon knowing what General Tatlor's views are in regard lo

certain treat and leading measures, of vital imparlance , . f4, ' . , , . . . " ' hole country. Oil no, yo-i shculdn t catet l.Me l"m at all !

Cither the editor must be himself rather shallow, or he place a very low estimate upon the intelligence of the people. Who is Gen. Tay lor, and what has he ever done, pray, to entitle ,,ni to güch unbounded confidence? That he is a brave ,na Bnd a swd General, is not q'lestioned ; for he has hi- w,oa ,ife (aI108l) in ,e ,tn)r,n it would ilIlced ;,v h) didVl know something about the rience of human butrhery. But wl.Kt of that? Are we to take the tireumMtances of hia valor and intrepidity in the field, as evidence of hia civic talents? of hia fitness lor the Presidency? of his undying attachment to Whiz principles? Who know what the General' views C',0". ,l,e , u,'i"c" .f l,,a T"flb': Cu"Cf,fJthe or a pursue such a course, is certainly unaccountable ami evinces an unpardonable dereliction from duly to say the least. If Ihe State Journal wishes to distract and break op the Whig party, let its conductors go ahead for they we on the right track. Pot We protest against this attempt to blindfold the people, and drive them into the shamble of Tayloriurn, whether they will or no. We deny the right of any man or body of men, to pledge the Whig parly to the support of Gen. Tatlor or any body else, independent of a Whig National Convention. If the Stale Journal i detepiimed lo go for Tatlor, nolens role ns why, let it say so. I, el it; conductors pull üown I lie wing, ana run up the Taylor fl;ig, at once and then the Whigs of Indiana Will know how to lnke them. Taylor says in effect, that he Will Hot rlN As the Whig CANDIDATE that if he runs, he must do so irre spective of parly ! That he will give no pledges make no proiniseii but go it on hia own hook 1 Well WE SAT, let him run if he liken, on hi own hook, and let the State Journal swallow the naked hook, line and all, if it choose but let the Whig party maintain its integrity. Tho State Journal, by the way, quotes Democratic uthorily against the Tip. Journal ! Isn't that rich, as young Washington said when initiated by the Thousand and One ! Brandywine Springs.

C-At the dinner of the Young Men's Democratic Association of Philadelphia, on the 5th of July, Mr. Dallas offered the following sentiment, as true as it T , k rapine. t llluslralinns of Democratic Ruin. A Mexican war, with victories "do ltdious to menlion. An English peace, with torrents of "the hard." An Irish famine relieved by our abundance. n . i .1 j i: laxauon reuueeu, wun revenue aim crcuu augmented. Our farmers lengthening their furrows. Our merchants dreaming tl.at they are princes. Our manufacturers buying palaces for Workshops. Our banks full of coin. Oor roads and rivers full of t earners. And, though last, not least, our schools and nurseries all full of children. Mr. Corwin's Speech, in the Senate, has been revised by himself. Its declamation is handsome and its avowals are b !d. We confess, however, tl.at its sentiments, in many instances, are very far from our own. After a victory over Mexico will be the time to hold the Administration responsible for its profligate and wanton war. Sew Albany Bulletin, whig, March 9, 1347. .qj-The conscience of the Bulletin docs not seem to be quite as accommodating as tl.at of the State Journal. The latter can go for Corwin, Taylor, Crit tenden, Clay and Calhoun, all iu a lump, without xchiking. It has the stomach of an ostrich to be capable of bolting such loads as it does. (JrThe organ of the Rough and Ready Club in New York says We want to prescht an entire unanimity tipon subjects of foreign policy; we want to have it understood distinctly that it is the determination of this country, that England is not to touch Cuba, that our conduct in regard to this continent, is not to be interfered with by any power on earth." What will the "no more territory" whigs who go for Taylor say to that ! Missouri Senatofs. During the twenty-seven years that Missouri has hud an existence as a State, she has been represented in the United States Senate by but five individuals. Of these Col. Benton has been Senator for the whole time. The others are David Barton, Alexander Buckner, Louis F. Linn and David R.Atchison. Col. Benton's term will expire in 1951, and Judge Atchison's in 1319. A Senator is to be elected at the next session of the Legislature. Oj-We think the following incident will beat any thing that has lately occurred in the west. In Bristol, Conn., recently, a boy of shout ten years of age, immediately after being reproved by an uncle with whom he was living, went into the house, and bringing out a loaded gun, deliberately shot him, killing him almost instantly. The number of passengers from Europe, who arrived at New York during tho years ending 31-t Jo;y, 1916, and 3ht July, 1917, was as follows: In 1910, there were 91,290; in 1947, 152,110.

Still Another. Anooicr letter from Gen. Taylor will be found below. The tone of it is similar toother's recently published. The only thing remarkable is the difference

You are apprized of the deep intercut every citizen of this country feet in all political contest on hand or likely to be, and that the people will know the sentiment of all and every candidate' for high stations; under these circumstance we will expect from you, rs early a practicable, a full expression on the subject referred lo.

The resolutions of the meeting transmitted to General Taylor were tliorourrlv democratic, as annears from the following account of them given by the , Clarksville jetlcrsonian : -llitTr j "1 he hrst resolution expresses a set'.Ied hostility to a national bank, and expresses a belief that such an institu- ' tion is not only unronsiitutional, but highly inexpedient. . The second relers to the same subject. 1 "e l'"nl resolution declare in lavor of the independ ent treasury and tho separation of bank and Stale. I The fourth declnres against a tariff for protection; the ' fifth against the distribution of the proceeds of sales of t.e nillllic .... -t, nnli.. r in 1 ternal ininroveiiienlii hv tha Cunuril C. J The seventh expresses the belief in the ri"ht of Texa, a an independent sovereignty to annex "itself to the ! United States and the obligation imposed upon us afler the act of annexation to piotect her territory. Then come a preamble which alludes Id the movement which had been made by the whig party in favor of (Jen. Taylor, and takes the ground without qualification that the democratic parly cannot support any man whose principles are not well defined aud which are not wholly and entirely democratic. Then follows the resolution instructing the officers of the committee to address a letter to (Jen. Taylor touching his opinions upon the several n. alter referred to iu the resolutions. Another resolution fully endorse the course of ihe present administration, aud congratulates the people upon the prosperity of the country under democratic rule." The Louisville Democrat observes: ' "There is nothing new iu General Taylor's reply; but it has Uie merit of being deliberately written, and defines exactly (jenernl Taylor' position. He has no opinion fir the public eye on the question of a national bank, a protective tariff, &c. It's now clear he does not intend to give any. lint he is a candidate for the presidency. Tlnse who support him go it with their eyes open, and at the same time go it blind. The letter to Mr. Delmiy some whig politicians apologized for, 011 the ground that it was hastily written. That will not do in iho present case. This letter was not ha. -ily written. Those interesting whigs w ho have said so much about protecting American industry, and so much for a national bank and whig piinciples, will now explain, if they pleae. These whig principles are great matter, or rather irere great in dav past; but they are not half as great as General Taylor." Newspatfrs. There are at the present time, or wert in April last, in existence and being published throughout England, Ireland, Scotland, Walesand the British Isies.re hundred and ftj'ty-five Journals, including dailies, tri-wef klies, semi-weeklies, weeklies, semi-monthlies and monthlies. The great ma. jority of tinware, of course, published in England. Of this number there were established in 1000, one ; in 1G60, one; in 1605, one; in 1099, one ; in 1095, one ; in 1700, one; in 1709, one ; from 1710 to 1720, five ; from 1720 to 1730. four ; to 1740, six ; to 1750, ten ; to 1700, six ; to 1770, twelve ; to 1780, eleven ; to 1790, seyen; to 1300, sixteen ; to 1910, thirty-three; to 1320, twenty-eight; to 1830, seventy ; to 1310, one hundred and forty-four ; and from 19 19 to April, IS 17, one hundred and eighty ; show ing them to increase in number in proportion as their value is appreciated. There are, we believe, something near two thousand different newspapers published in the United States, or over three times the number that are issued in all Great Pritain ; and it is believed more than all that are published in all other parts of the world together.

We have been desired to print them for the edification of our federal oppo' nents : 100 reward for legal proof that there are over' sixteen whigs in the American Highlands, now in" Mexico. 100 for legal proof that there are over sixteen' whigs in the Cambria Guards, now in Mexico. 100 for legal proof that there are over ten whigs in the Monroe Guards, now in Mexico. 11)0 for legal proof that there are over ten whigs in the Jeflerson Guard', now in Mexico. $100 for legal proof that there is one w hig in Capt. Binder's German company now in Mexico. $100 for legal proof ihat there iaoxE whig in Captain Porter's company of Irish Greens, now in Mexico. 100 for legal proof that there are fifteen wbig-s in the Wyoming Artillerists, now in Mexico. 100 for legal proof that there are over fifteen whigs iu the Uniontown company, now in Mexico. 100 for legal proof that there are over fifteen whigs in the Westmorland Guards, now in Mexico. 1( 0 fur legal proof that there are over fifteen whigs in the Reading Artillerists, new in Mexico. &509 for legal proof that there are over oue hundred and fiAy whigs in the tw o Regiments of Pennsylvania Volunteers, now in Mexico. Ant! finally, 1(!00 for legal proof that there is a single whig in the American army, who approves of the atrocious sentiments ilcrcd by the Sörth Amerzcanand its kindred spirits. The Ohio Statesnan says, that a colored man named Cook, near s'xty years of age, who was engaged in digging a well, at Franklinen, near Columbus, was caugiii by the gravel and sand caving in upon him, burying him up to the neck. The people collected in great numbers, but all their efforts to extricate him gave very little promise of success, the gravel caving in upon them as fast as they succeeded in removing it. He was finally got out alive, though very much exhausted, on Saturday afernoon, after having beeen thus buried alive fur about fifty hours. Another Martyr. The Montreal Herald chronicles the decease of the Very Rev. Mr. Hudon, vicar general to the Roman Catholic Bishop ofthat diocese. The Rev. gentleman caught the disease, of which lie died, iu his faithful attendance at the bedsides of the perishing sick in the immigrant sheds. The present appearance ot things is, that the federalists think of renominating Henrv Clay, as that.

j distinguifched gentleman has just commenced one of those tours fur health which has preceded the last two presidential campaigns, and which are 0 imj-ortint ' to the party. I'tnnsyhanian.'
